Chapter Forty-Seven
After Yan Cheng went back, he told Bai Ying about Bai Xiao's performance in the city.
Bai Ying: "What you said is true? ”
"The subordinates don't dare to deceive, the seventh prince is in the way of his subordinates and bites off the ears of the thieves."
"I didn't expect Xiao Qi to be able to do this, we underestimated him too much, Yan Cheng brought more people, and he must not let Xiao Qi die in the city."
Yan Cheng still thought that after he told the truth, Bai Ying would try his best to protect Bai Xiao? After all, it's an uncle and nephew!
"My subordinates don't understand, why do you want to let the Seventh Prince personally get into danger?" That is, the personal relationship is very close, otherwise with Yan Cheng's arrogant behavior, Bai Ying can execute him.
Bai Ying opened the paper fan in his hand, "If the jade is not cut, it can't be made, since Xiao Qi is a piece of jade, then of course it must be carved carefully." ”
"The city is very dangerous, and my subordinates dare not guarantee it..."
"Yan Cheng, you have been with me for many years, why are you so procrastinating this time, do you think I will blame you if something happens to Xiao Qi? Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and when the time comes, you can only blame Xiao Qi's bad life. ”
There are many children in the Bai family, not only Bai Xiao alone, Bai Xiao is indeed remarkable, but it is definitely not outstanding, appreciation does not mean that you have to protect your shortcomings.
Standing in Bai Ying's position, many things have become different.
All Yan Cheng had to do was do his best, and after explaining, Yan Cheng brought a few good hands to the city, and saw that Bai Jian was about to kneel down for Bai Xiao, "Young master, the little one can't stay in the city to take care of the children!" ”
"What's not to be able to do with this? Among all the people, you can take care of people, don't you see that I take care of them very well? ”
"But the little one is to take care of the young master."
"Obedient, go back."
Yan Cheng walked over, "Bai Xiao, go back!" Seventh son, I take care of this. Looking at the good players behind Yan Cheng, Bai Xiao also had a bottom in his heart.
Bai Jian became chattering again, what a quilt at night! What a late-night snack! It wasn't until Yan Chengliang sword that Bai Jian was willing to leave.
It can only be said that Bai Jian thinks very beautifully, where does the quilt come from above the city, it would be good to have a piece of dry cake, at this moment Bai Xiao is a small soldier, don't worry about anything, just pull out the knife when the thief comes.
It feels good that you don't have to patrol the city, and you can go to bed early.
However, Dayan's group of rebels did not mean to let people sleep, and they attacked at night in the middle of the night, and climbed up along the hook and claw, and many county soldiers were killed in their sleep.
That is, Bai Xiao had Yan Cheng, Luo Jun and others by his side, so he did not follow in the footsteps.
Bai Xiao was completely woken up by the sound of shouting and killing, and when the city was in chaos, it was easy to kill each other and trample on each other, "Light the torch." ”
Yan Cheng: "Seventh Prince, won't we expose ourselves in this way?" ”
"That's what I want, there are a lot of county soldiers who know me in this northern city, they will move closer to me, we must defend the city wall."
Bai Xiao insisted on this, and the people below couldn't stop it.
The county soldiers leaned towards Bai Xiao one after another, and Bai Xiao's side suddenly became the main force guarding the city, and even the guard Zhang Biao also ran over, "Bai County Order, this time it's really thanks to you." ”
"Fortunately, there are not many people!" After saying this, Bai Xiao felt that something was wrong, and there were not many people who came up to do anything, "It's not good, they are here for the city gate." ”
Bai Xiao hurriedly threw the torch under the city, and the county soldiers guarding the gate below could no longer withstand it, and some thieves had already entered the city gate.
"General Zhang, is there any oil for kerosene?"
Fire oil has been a necessity for defending the city since ancient times, and there is no Jinshan County in Bai Xiao, and there should always be this Xihe County Town!
"Yes, yes, I'll let people move over."
"General Zhang, you keep an eye on it first, I'll take people down first, remember that after the oil comes up, there must be a sea of fire outside the city gate, the more prosperous the better."
Zhang Biao involuntarily lowered his posture, "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
Bai Jian raised his sword, "Brothers, follow me down to kill the thief." ”
This time, Yan Cheng and the others had already received Bai Ying's instructions and had full authority to obey Bai Xiao's dispatch, so they worked extra hard and jumped directly from the halfway of the stairway of the city wall.
Bai Xiao really saw it for the first time, "Is this a light work?" Cornices walk on the wall. ”
Luo Jun: "My lord, isn't this a light skill?" It's just that the simple technique of lifting is not new. ”
"Then why don't you go down."
"Subordinate, since elementary school, it is the art of battlefield fighting, and I have not dabbled in it."
No, it won't! This gives him an old-fashioned attitude, which is not cute for Luo Jun.
When Bai Xiao went down, the three city gate bolts had been opened, and a group of thieves were desperately pulling the city gates.
When you open the city gates, you have to use horse-pulled, of course, it takes a lot of effort.
There was already a little fire outside, and it seemed that Zhang Biao's side had already started, Bai Xiao couldn't hold back, and this city gate must not be opened.
If the thief rushes into the fire without regard for his life, then the county is in danger.
"Where are the archers? Give me arrows. ”
"My lord, there are your own people inside?"
Mercy is not in charge of the army, the last thing you need on the battlefield is mercy, anyone can sacrifice for victory, "Rather kill the wrong than let go, if you let the thief take advantage of the loophole, the people in the city will suffer, shoot." ”
This is also in the county seat, if it is in Jinshan County, Bai Xiao can not explain.
The inside of the city gate cave was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly, Bai Xiao let people throw a lot of torches into it, good guys, those thieves and thieves had a shield in their hands, forming a shield wall, no wonder it was useless to shoot so many arrows?
"Who's who? Pull me some horses. ”
Bai Xiao really doesn't know who is who, it's messy everywhere, the enemy doesn't know where it came from, so he can only shout at the top of his voice, and if you want others to listen to you on the battlefield, you have to shout.
A few county soldiers pulled a few war horses over, "My lord, you want a horse." ”
Bai Xiao didn't say a word, he slashed at the buttocks of those horses, and the war horses rushed into the city gate hole, and it was a trivial matter not to mention stepping on them along the way.
No matter how strong the manpower is, it can't compare to the horsepower, and a few crazy horses collided with it, and the shield wall fell apart on the spot, and the war horses slammed into the city gate.
The anti-thief just made that little effort all in vain, the city gate was closed again, some of the war horses were dizzy, a war horse was 1,800 catties, and Bai Xiao didn't believe it when it was blocked there, and the thieves outside could come in.
"Kill them all, and block the gates." Blocking the city gate with corpses, now it can only be like this, where to find sacks at night.
Anything that could be piled into it, Bai Xiao let people pile it in.
Until Zhang Biao sent someone over, "Bai County ordered, the thieves retreated." ”
"Say it again, give me a louder voice, I haven't eaten!"
"The thieves have retreated."
Bai Xiao is not deaf, of course he can hear it, and said that this second time is for the surrounding county soldiers to listen, so that they know that this night was not in vain.
The county soldiers collectively cheered, in fact, what they wanted was as simple as that.
I don't know who shouted, "Bai County Order." A crowd shouted.
"White County Order."
“…”
Bai Xiao's prestige has completely spread in Xihe County, and some people even tell stories about Bai Xiao's deeds, Bai Xiao feels ashamed!
Liu Zhuang also felt that he had lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, but he couldn't defend the city and relied on Bai Xiao? The offensive of the thieves has become more and more crazy in the past few days!
Bai Xiao was almost overwhelmed by the guards of a group of masters, let alone the pawns below.
On the fifth day, Bai Xiao went directly down to the city to find Bai Ying, he must theorize.
didn't break in from the main entrance, Bai Xiao was calm.
"Second uncle, you come out for me."
Bai Ying put on a piece of clothing and walked out, and saw Bai Xiao covered in blood, "Xiao Qi, you are too desperate." ”
"Aren't you a messenger of peace? Why not negotiate peace? ”
"Yan Cheng brought my tea set, tonight I will teach you what it means to be a scholar, and how much you can learn depends on yourself."
Bai Ying was still in the mood to make tea, this was really slow, smelling the fragrance of tea Bai Xiao slowly calmed down, "Second uncle, the little nephew was offended just now, please don't be surprised." ”
"You have offended a lot, if it were someone else, you would have died eight hundred times, who made you my own nephew? Have a cup of tea! ”
Bai Xiao drank it all, in Bai Ying's eyes, it was a cow chewing peony, he was a tribute to Wuyi's big red robe, did he drink like this?
"It tastes good, pour another glass."
"You've been out for a long time, you can't even taste tea, and you've forgotten what you've learned."
"Second uncle, don't talk about drinking tea, now you have time to drink water, can you hurry up! I don't have the time to talk to you at night. ”
Bai Ying suddenly felt that the tea washing and making tea just now was in vain, what kind of tea would she drink if she didn't talk about it at night! It's good to serve the wine directly.
"Being in the court officialdom, every step is for the glory of your own career family, the icing on the cake is never as good as sending charcoal in the snow, what if the city is broken, and what if the people suffer? As long as I have the ability to turn the tide at that time, the people will remember my Bai Ying's good acquaintance with my Bai family, and the court will reward us, understand? ”
"Isn't it too ruthless to use sentient beings as pawns and go your own way."
Bai Ying poured another cup of tea for Bai Xiao, and he felt that Bai Xiao understood, "Ruthlessness is always an outsider, and it is necessary to have affection for the family and relatives." ”
Bai Ying said in one sentence that the way of survival of the family is the way of dealing with the world, which is the so-called career of the skyrocketing.
Maybe Bai Ying is right, but Bai Xiao will never become that kind of person, "The little nephew has been taught, I don't know what the second uncle thinks is the right time?" ”
"When you can't help but come over to see me the second time."
Bai Xiao suddenly felt that the burden on his body was extremely heavy, "Second uncle, second uncle, you are testing me!" ”
"Beicheng Baixian Order, holding a knife is magnificent, and the people are passing on the interface, how can you have your own reputation!" Bai Ying was indeed going his own way, but he didn't want to pave the way for Bai Xiao by the way.
The Bai family can come to this day, and the reputation is prominent, but it is not an overnight thing, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Bai Ying feels that Bai Xiao has too many things to learn.
